Glen Ivy Weddings & Events

Had my wedding here in 2021. I found this venue to be affordable and flexible. It was one of the few places that was in my budget but still had a upscale feel. It has all that you need a changing room (probably not big enough to really get ready), good food, great bartender, beautiful chairs and linens great indoor and outdoor space. We hired our own month of coordinator for a few reasons. I would actually recommend that to anyone at any venue even if they include someone!You need your own point person and someone who has spent time with you to know what you want. At the time when we planned our wedding there was so much turn over with the event staff. Some things were lost in communication so always get everything in writing.

Alyssa and her assistant made my family reunion a very memorable occasion. My family was impressed with the accommodations and the food was excellent! The ballroom is beautiful with views from 3 sides. The patio seating overlooking the pond and waterfall and the grassy area on the other side really gives this venue a beautiful setting. I highly recommend this venue for your special occasion.

In February my husband and I canceled our plans to have our destination wedding in Cabo and decided it would be best to have our wedding closer to home. We looked at a few spots and when we visited Glen Ivy we were introduced to Alyssa who is the director of events and sales coordinator. Off the bat we had a great impression of Alyssa as she answered all of our questions, this was a total change from the events coordinator in Cabo as it was difficult to get a hold of this person. While visiting the venue we were told that an amphitheater was being built and would be finished sometime in June, just in time for our planned wedding date of July. As the days got closer to July I noticed this amphitheater was not even close to being done. We contacted Alyssa about this in which her response was she never made any promises and that was discussed which it wasn't. The venue provides a day of coordinator so for this reason I decided to not hire a wedding coordinator, Alyssa had told us that their coordinators are great and are able to execute what we needed done on the day of the wedding. I did not speak to my wedding coordinator Amanda until 3 days before my wedding via telephone in which I had to ask to speak to her. During our conversation I felt rushed and dismissed as she told me we would go over everything at the rehearsal. During our initial walk through she was also not there to discuss all of my wishes and Alyssa was the one discussing timeline with me. On the day of the rehearsal as I was walking through everything with Amanda she never once took notes on where I wanted everything, just stated: "we'll make it all work to my wishes". I discussed with both Alyssa and Amanda where I wanted everything place during cocktail hour, that we would want a bar outside and one inside. On the day of the wedding both bars were placed outside and when I followed up with Alyssa after the wedding she stated that she discussed with my husband that if the bar was placed inside it would leave less room for dancing and so they decided if thats the case both bars will be outside. This never was discussed and my husband and I both stated that we wanted one bar inside and one bar outside. My day of wedding coordinator Amanda was unorganized on the day of my wedding. My wedding party had to help setting up the reception tables, this I found out later. I also found out Amanda stated during the time of help "I guess its all hands on deck". I discussed with Alyssa about creating seating cards that had a picture of the food item each guest wished to receive so that servers knew what guest was getting during the main course. My seating cards were placed in an area not discussed and placed in an area where if you did not walk by there you would not know where you are sitting so I had to hand these out during cocktail hour. Another upsetting thing I found out after the wedding was that if you were not seated at your table you would not be served your food, I found out a lot of my guests did not get served their dinner because they were outside at the bar. What was the point of creating seating cards with food item displayed if guests wouldn't even get served their main course if they were not seated??? I don't even think Amanda printed out my timeline. My timeline that I discussed with Alyssa was not followed at all and Amanda basically stated that everything was just going to go based off of my time, what is the point of this coordinator if she isn't going to coordinate for things to happen in a timely manner as discussed?! Cake cutting, bouquet/garter toss was never done. Honestly I wish I had my wedding at another venue. This venue makes promises and on the day of they don't deliver. I also tried to reach out after my wedding to see if anything can be done but instead of offering sympathy they tried to turn everything around and not take any responsibility for the wrongs that happened. Weddings are not cheap and its a once in a lifetime thing you look forward to with lots of time and effort spent into planning. It's unfortunate that things turned out the way it did for my wedding. At the end of the day I of course made the most of my wedding and enjoyed it with all of the people I care about. If you are considering this venue I would think twice or hire your own wedding coordinator that will get the job done.

We had a wonderful experience with Glen Ivy. Britney is absolutely phenomenal she was so helpful for our family in a stressful time with Covid. If you're looking for a venue that treats their clients like family look no further! Thank you so much for taking such great care of us and being so understanding.

We book our holiday Christmas party here and did a casino night and it was great! Planning and quoting was very easy, food and staff were amazing. Definitely will plan to have another function here.

Beautiful location and Rosemary the event coordinator was awesome! Unfortunately it was a little above our budget but looks like an outstanding venue.

Glen Ivy Golf Club was the perfect wedding venue for us! They had two options for ceremony location, an indoor reception hall, & many options for photo opps. This is what sold us the most! One thing that we loved about this venue, is the flexibility to bring in your own decor (& some food as long as it's not homemade). This made it easier for us to have DIY decor & bring in our own late night snack for our guests. Another thing that our guests are still talking about & that we enjoyed is the food! The appetizers were soo good. We had the bruschetta, meatballs, Mac & cheese bites, & crab cakes. Everyone was raving about the Mac & cheese bites & the crab cakes! For our entrees, we had the stuffed chicken & the tri-tip with chimichurri- no complaints! And we also had assorted desserts with them: cheesecakes, cupcakes, brownies, cookies, & churros. I guess you can say the churros, brownies & cookies were a big hit because they flew off the trays like crazy. I didn't get to try the churros or brownies but I did try everything else and they were good!We booked with Glen Ivy about 18 months before our wedding date. When we booked, we booked with the event director, Alyssa. It was a seamless process, we communicated back & forth with our contract before signing. Once we started getting into the wedding planning about 4-6 months before our wedding, we worked with the coordinator, Amanda. During this process, we did get a little nervous because some things that were promised to us when signing with Alyssa were different once we started working with Amanda. Additionally, there were times where some things were miscommunicated, which became frustrating. Luckily for us, we also had a coordinator who was helping facilitate the planning between what we were working on and with Amanda. Biggest tip: if you don't hear from them, you should definitely reach out. When we were able to communicate with Amanda, it was mostly by phone or text. She was attentive for the most part, but as a bride, if there is something you want, you'll have to make it clear. Just for peace of mind, we made sure to have everything in writing just in case there was any confusion in the future (this ended up not being an issue at all.).During the last two weeks leading up to our wedding and on our wedding day, Amanda & the venue team (Karent, banquet captain) was great to work with. Side note: when signing a contract with any venue, it would be better to sign for less guests than you are expecting. This was an issue for us because we had more guests declined than expected & we went back & forth with Amanda many times on how we can allocate our money. But nonetheless, Amanda made sure that we were using every dollar we paid as part of our contract.We made sure to provide Amanda with all the information she needed in order for our day to be seamless. The day of the wedding, her, Karen & team worked effortlessly with our coordinator and her team. My wife & I did not have to lift any fingers and they were always available to bring us what we needed (drinks, food, appetizers). There were plenty of venue staff around to attend to whatever needed to be attended to. They were all so patient & did everything with a smile. Bartenders were amazing & all the staff were very attentive!By the end of the night, we wished we had more time to party. The venue team worked with our coordinating team to make sure that all of the decor we brought was packed up.

From the moment the planning process stated to the end of my wedding m experience at Glenn was absolutely awsome! I'm still getting calls and compliments 3 months later!!

I do not recommend this venue. I am less than 3 weeks away from my wedding. I am a planner, and I bought the all inclusive package. HUGE mistake. I have sent Glen Ivy messages the past 6 months asking about my florist, food tasting (For my menu invites, never got to send them with my wedding invitations because food tasting was 2 weeks ago!) cake tasting, DJ, you name it, and I was told it was to soon. One week ago I started getting last minute vendor contact information and forced to rush EVERYTHING because they crammed so many weddings all at once. I have had ZERO help planning or arranging vendors from Glen Ivy. Here I am less than 3 weeks away asking THEM AGAIN what time and date my rehearsal would be (Promised months ago the day before between the hours of 2 P.M. and 5 P.M.) only to be told they scheduled a wedding on that date. I have family from out of state in my wedding and now half of the party cant make it to rehearsal because this greedy venue is scheduling back to back weddings. I was told I am being given fair and equal planning time as they are very busy. Brides RUN RUN RUN away from this venue. Its a MESS and they are less than helpful. They change vendors left and right, I now understand why!

We booked our Company's Holiday Party at Glen Ivy Golf Club on December 13th, 2019 and I couldn't be more happier! The moment we contact them for a quote to the day of our event everyone was so very helpful and professional. The venue is gorgeous and the service is excellent! The food was delicious and the chef listen to our needs and wants during the food tasting so the food was perfect the day of our event! The servers where always making sure everything was going well and if we needed anything. Thank you Annette, Britney & Jason for going above and beyond and making sure the whole event process from beginning to end would go smoothly and wonderfully! I definitely recommend Glen Ivy Golf Club for any event!
